OK, bored last night, so I decided to do some research on the latest geek trend - Foursquare. I sometimes have too much time on my hands. |

Our Travel Bugs
For my 35th birthday, Miranda and Kelsey Lukens sent me a bag of toys for trade items. In return, I decided to give them back to them as travel bugs. Check on their progress by clicking on images below:
I created my own geocaching mapping mash-up. I transformed all of our geocaching finds into a georss feed and then overlaid the feed onto on Yahoo! Maps. You have all the interactivity of Yahoo! Maps - zooming, panning and switching map types. Each find is easily marked with an icon which also tells you what kind of cache that find was: traditional, multi, earth, virtual or webcam. When you click on a particular cache, it opens up an informational windows that displays when we found the cache, a link to that cache on geocaching.com and a related picture of our find.
Click here
to see where we have gone caching.
The Streak
It started on September 22, 2007, and every day since, we have found at least one geocache. Now this streak may seem trivial and mundane, hardly a triumph, but have you ever tried to do a conscious activity consistently for such a long time?
I can’t, and that is why I find this streak so amazing.
It’s also not just about the geocaching. A consequence of our streak has also been at least a photo a day, along with a sentence or two a day in our daily Twitter dispatches.
Despite Jill’s initial desire to put an end of the streak after a year, when the streak was in jeopardy, she became upset at the idea of its demise, so we continue on.

Fixing McKenzie's Cracked iPhone Screen
March 4, 2010 9:36 PM
Last Saturday, I dropped McKenzie’s iPhone on the garage floor, cracking the screen, and screamed a torrent of obscenities. However, all was not lost. The touchscreen LCD still worked. The damage was just cosmetic.
A Google search lead me back to ifixit.com, which posted a tutorial on how to replace an iPhone screen and sold a replacement kit. I didn’t give it a second thought when I ordered it.
Well, today waiting on my doorstep when I got home was my replacement kit, and an hour later, McKenzie’s iPhone was fixed.

Keep This Place Weird
February 22, 2010 4:59 PM
In my travels throughout my life, I noticed that I have an affinity for places that proudly boast civic slogans of Keep [this city] Weird. When I attended college, Madison was filled with bumper stickers proclaiming that its citizens should Keep Madison Weird. When moved to the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, I saw the same bumper stickers, but instead inciting its denizens to Keep Portland Weird. Now I have found a southern city that howls the same battle cry, Austin. Now I just need to figure out more space on my bumper…

An Open Letter to My Daughter
February 6, 2010 8:44 PM
Dear McKenzie,
The new year has come, and yet it is just now for the first time in this new year, this new decade, that I am making the time to fulfill my promise to you. So many things have been passing in and out of my mind since my last letter, and it is hard to nail them down at their particular moments and offer them up as pearls of wisdom for you.
Most recently, I have just finished the book, The Science of Fear, which helped keep my cynicism, worries and fears in perspective. When all looks wrong with the world, I am reminded by the fact that despite the challenges we now face that we are better off than in the past, that we have and will continue to progress. This is saying much about your father who could easily become a grumpy, old and bitter man, who recounts a glorious golden past age.
McKenzie, please don’t let me become that guy. Remind me that the past was filled with disease, starvation, menial labor and violence. But, most of all, remember and learn from those past mistakes and improve upon those past achievements.
Another thing that has been weighing heavy on my mind is feedback. Somewhere down the line, my feedback loop became broken, leaving me detached from those who were once important to me earlier in my life. Occasionally, there are twinges of regret and lame attempts to reconnect; however, they seem to lead nowhere.
I send out signal out into the darkness beyond my immediate source of light – you and your mother – and hear nothing back. Eventually I just turn off the signal all together. I don’t want that to happen to us. More importantly, I don’t want you to follow in my footsteps as hone it as the sharpest weapon in your defense mechanism arsenal.
